The Alliance is excited to share the formation of a new community organization. The group, the Adirondack Performing Arts Council (APAC), based in Chestertown, is dedicated to facilitating the experience of the performing arts within the Adirondack community and beyond. APAC’s home base will be the Carol Theater and events have been scheduled already for this summer. We all agree that this will be a great asset to our community.

There will be an Open House Fund Raiser on May 9th to correspond with the Car Hop so stop in and check it out! Funds are needed for this project for advertising & theater electric costs and committee will be sending a letter out to local businesses and individuals for donations to get them started. Performers will be paid by a portion of ticket sales.

The Carol Theater building is also officially for sale, and anyone interested in more information should contact Cindy Mead at Gallo Realty.
